52 several winds and rains 3

Near noon, the scorching autumn sun fell on people, which was really comfortable. At this moment, people come and go in Hankou Xinsheng Street, which is the most prosperous time.

The newspaper sellers on the street were mixed with the bustling crowd and shouted, "Buy the newspaper, buy the newspaper. Last night, the revolutionary army defeated the Qing army in Sandao Bridge. Xia Zhankui, the general of the Qing army, panicked and fled. Zhang Xu committed suicide in fear of crime. The Qing government was defeated again and again, which was vulnerable. General Li then ordered 100,000 soldiers and launched an expedition to the east. In addition to the extraordinary, Marshal Li issued a revolutionary declaration to overthrow the traitorous government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the imperialist invading forces against China.

Every piece of news from the People's Daily is fresh and exciting. The newspaper boy held a dozen newspapers in his hand and immediately sold out. Some people chased him and asked, is there any People's Daily? The newspaper boy counted the copper in his hand with a happy face and ran straight to the Xinhua News Agency. The newspaper of this newspaper was so good to sell.

On the road, pedestrians took the People's Daily and talked about it one after another. Just a few boring uncles who could read newspaper articles loudly on the roadside, attracting ricket drivers who had no business patrons, beggars who caught lice in the sun at the foot of the wall, and aunts who passed by with soy sauce, surrounded him and listened to his recitation. The People's Daily is written in vernacular and can be understood without education. The uncle saw so many audiences, and he read it vigorously. The audience also cooperated more and applauded from time to time, which made the uncle have a super sense of achievement. No wonder those little rabbit students like to give speeches on the street so much.

Li Xiang went to Liujiamiao and passed by Xinsheng Street. Everyone led the horse. Recently, there have been many revolutionary soldiers patrolling the streets in military uniform, and the citizens did not pay special attention to this group of people. In such a bustling market, Li wants to think that this is too arrogant and domineering, which seriously affects the people-friendly image of the revolutionary army, so Li wants to ask everyone to get off the horse and walk.

Along the way, I saw many students' ** speeches, but the slogans were a little out of tune. Overthrow the traitorous government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and defeat the imperialist invading forces against China. His two slogans were refined into overthrowing the Manchu Qing government and overthrowing imperialism. However, after the streamlining, the slogan was more inflammatory to the masses. The onlookers held their clenched fists and shouted the two slogans.

"Overthrow the Manchu Qing government and overthrow imperialism." The student who had just cut off his braids and shaved into arhats' head, wearing a student suit improved from Japan, stood on a broken wooden box like a classmate, waving his clenched fists, and shouted a loud slogan.

"Overthrow the Manchu Qing government and overthrow imperialism." The onlookers shouted with all their strength, and the crowd was furious.

When Li wanted to walk complacently, his long boots sparked on the cement road. He was very satisfied that Chinese nationalism had burned. As for whether it will disturb the concession and cause diplomatic disputes, Li Xiang doesn't care. The Western powers do not recognize the revolutionary military government. If the great powers have opinions, they can go to the Manchu Qing government theory that they recognize. Li, such a selfish person, will not care whether the great powers recognize it and whether the revolutionary military government is legal. Who is in charge of China and needs the recognition of the great powers? If the contradictions really intensify and cause a war, Li Xiang will take the opportunity to recover the Hankou Concession by force and relieve this dangerous trouble. The Western powers absolutely can't draw troops to fight in the Far East, and Li Xiang will not take the initiative to fight with it. He wants the people of the world to know that his revolutionary army is just to fight to drive away the invaders.

The most likely thing is that Xiao Dongyang will take this opportunity to declare war, but Li wants to be inland, and Xiao Dongyang really can't help him. Xiao Dongyang had a fight with Yuan Shikai, a big fat man, nearby at most, and then blackmailed the court of the Qing Dynasty, and the court of the Qing Dynasty came to pay compensation. This will only increase the people's hatred for the betrayal government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and make the Manchu Qing government and his lackey go to extinction earlier.

Li Xiang is now a small warlord who occupies the towns of Hankou and Hanyang. What can he do? No matter how heavy the consequences are, it is not his turn to bear them. There are a lot of bachelor temperament when the Communist Party hid in the east and fought guerrillas. No matter who they were, he dared to provoke them. If the international community sees his declaration in the People's Daily, it is estimated that more people will just look at his Li Xiang's wild words and want to make a grandstanding clown. If you want to defeat the imperialist invading forces in China, even the people such as Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang can't do anything about it. Among the revolutionaries, even Mr. Sun Yat-sen is everywhere to ask for help from Lord Yang. Isn't Li digging his own grave if he is so arrogant?

Li Xiang's self-feeling is extremely good, especially looking at the heart of the people who are encouraged all over the city, and his heart ripples with the fate of yy. I also asked myself, if it weren't for fate, how could I travel through time?

Li wanted to take a few guards to Liujiamiao Station on this trip. The large army was divided into two routes. Along the way, he led two regiments and took Cai Xun. Along the way, he went to Liujiamiao Station along the railway line. Lin Tiechang went to Liujiamiao Station first, and he had to temporarily transfer a regiment of troops from Li Xiping to form two regiments. Li Xiping also needed a little time to do this well, so Li Xiang was not in a hurry to rush to Liujiamiao Station, led his horse through the downtown and watched the bustle.

In addition to the student speech group launched by the World Association, there are also some Hankou citizens who spontaneously promote the revolution here. At the gate of the Apollo Cinema, the crowd surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors. Li wanted to squeeze over curiously. He was an arhat-headed uncle who recited the People's Daily.

Li Xiang was so interested that he took off his hat and gathered into the crowd. Tang Yuewan grabbed Li Xiang and whispered, "Mshal, Commander Lin Tie is still waiting for you at Liujiamiao Station, and you are still lingering here. I've never seen you so busy and irresponsible.

"It doesn't matter. After the battle last night, it will take some time for Li Xiping to reorganize a complete group. I'll take a look here and leave. If you're afraid of crowds, wait for me across the street. Li wanted to say that the man had already squeezed in.

Li Xiang said so, and Tang Yuewan also wanted to squeeze in, but she was small, weak, and had the cleanliness fetish of a young lady. Tang Yuewan just touched a little old beggar in his clothes, the soy sauce aunt, the yellow-wagon driver, and the goose bumps all over his body layer after layer; when he got close, he only smelled the smell of the stinky man, and his heart was nauseated. Tang Yuewan really didn't dare to squeeze in, but looked in with his toes on the periphery of the crowd. Li Xiang was small. After squeezing in, he became a stone sinking to the bottom of the lake and could not be found.

Tang Yuewan quickly commanded a few guards, "Go and pull the general out. Don't let anything happen."

These guards are all good hands selected by Liu Xinsheng from his brother. The fighting skills are not weak. They open the crowd and get in.

Li wanted to squeeze in and have a look. Uncle Luo Han was blocked on the steps at the door of the cinema. He was full of air and read it well. From time to time, you can also choose key sentences as a slogan, which attracts a response from the audience. Uncle Luohan was proud, and even his clear Luohan head was dazzling in autumn.

Li Xiang couldn't help but be infected by it and shouted. While he was shouting, the corner of his eyes saw the aunt silent, and everyone's blood was boiling. While shouting, she was so calm, which was really strange.

Li Xiang asked curiously, "Why didn't your aunt say anything? Don't you want to see Manqing overthrown and foreigners being driven away?"

The aunt recognized Li Xiang's costume as the revolutionary army at a glance, but she met the revolutionary army on the street in the past two days. The revolutionary army killed the Qing army fiercely, but she was very kind to the people, and she had nothing to be afraid of. The aunt said very calmly, "Of course I do. It's just that it's useless for you revolutionaries and students to shout here again. Can shout to scare away the flags and foreigners?"

A person who is really old and understands about accidents is completely different from a student who is brain congested in two words. Li wants to know more about the thoughts of these people, which is directly related to his winning of the hearts and the future political direction.

Li wanted to agree with his aunt's words and nodded at the same time, "There is only one way to overthrow the Manchu Qing government and overthrow imperialism. We revolutionaries have been killed by bloodshed. We are here to talk about revolutionary principles just to get your support. Is there anything that the people are dissatisfied with after the revolution enters Hankou? If you have any questions, just mention it. Our revolutionary military government will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.

"We also know the good of the revolutionaries. They have exempted a lot of taxes in my family and raised my child's wages. We are all very satisfied. I don't say anything. I also support the revolution in my heart, but I don't know what to do to help the revolutionary army? I'm a mother-in-law, and I won't fight to kill the enemy. The aunt said almost without thinking. When the villagers around her heard it, they even said, yes! Yes! He kept nodding again.

Li Xiang saw at a glance that they were all their heartfelt words, and he couldn't help but be complacent. If you have money, you can make a strong contribution. You have this intention, and it is enough for us revolutionary comrades to know it.

The eldest aunt put her hands in her sleeves, lowered her head and thought for a while. Finally, she stamped her feet and stuffed two hot hard pieces into Li Xiang's hand and said, "I used these two coppers to make soy sauce. I only have this little money on my body. I donated them to the revolutionary military government."

Li Xiang only knew the temperature of the two copper coins from the palm of his hand and knew how Aunt Soy Sauce cherished these two copper coins. These two copper coins were more heartwarming than the 180,000 yuan collected by Hankou Chinese merchants. Li wanted to hold the two copper coins that were warm in his hand, and his eyes suddenly became wet. He doesn't lack this little money. He really doesn't lack it, but he can't bear to refuse his aunt's heart, but he can't bear to take away the money that his aunt is hot in his heart. It's really difficult for the poor to make two coppers.

The aunt started, and the villagers next to him took out their pockets one after another. This side scratched, and several guards ran over and surrounded Li Xiang in the middle. At this time, the masses knew that the young soldier was still a senior official.

Li wants to separate the guards and find those student speech groups to organize fundraising. What Li wants is not this little money, but this atmosphere, the united atmosphere of the people of Hankou.

Nowadays, scenes like Hankou can be seen everywhere, and more bold students give speeches to the Hankou Concession Line. Fearing an accident, Feng Xiaoqi sent all the police officers who had just arrived at the police station this morning to maintain public order, especially around the concession line. In fact, the foreign lords are also very fierce. If these student parties really want to cross the concession, these beasts will really open fire. There are too many such tragedies. Feng Xiaoyu has to be careful. The police patrolling the concession line to maintain public order are all armed with live ammunition. What is prevented is not the riots of the people on the street, but the police in the Weisho Concession not to open fire randomly.

Lu Chai was set up at the intersection of the five-nation concessions to isolate the traffic between the two borders. The police in the concessions of various countries almost all pressed on these traffic intersections.

In the Toyo Concession, the Japanese consulate belongs to the Gothic five-story small foreign building. Sadao Matsumura, the Consul General of Japan in Hankou, is on the top floor.

Sadao Matsumura in the office was holding a People's Daily in his hand, but he came to the window and looked out of the window outside the concession line in the distance, where the Chinese people were screaming stupidly. Sadao Matsumura was complacent. As soon as he dozed off, someone sent a pillow. When the Chinese make such a fuss, isn't his plan to form a foreign warship coalition come true?

Sadao Matsumura smiled happily, "The head of the Hankou Revolutionary Army, is Li Xiangda Marshal brain-damaged? The Manchu Qing government had not yet overthrown it, but dared to roar to defeat the imperialist invaders. It's really ridiculous and pathetic! His commander-in-chief has been working for two days, and he has achieved the end.

Nakamura Zenjiro, the police chief of the Oriental Concession, stood behind Sadao Matsumura and stood like a benchmark. Hearing Matsumura open his mouth, he immediately flattered and said, "Lord Matsumura said very well. Yuan Shikai was also arrogant in North Korea, and now he is not as obedient as a dog. The sick man of East Asia is the sick man of East Asia. He can't stand up. When he tastes bitter, he will naturally beg us. When the time comes, if we want him to be round, he will be round. If we want him to have a plaque, he will be round. Can he be a general again? It all depends on our thoughts.

Sadao Matsumura was proud for a moment, "Yo Xi! But Mr. Nakamura can't be careless and pull all the police out to be on guard. If you cross the border and make trouble, just shoot.

"Hi!" Nakamura Zenjiro got permission to shoot, and his body soared like an adrenaline rocket, like seeing Sadako taking off his clothes, fiddling with his graceful body. The excitement made it difficult for him to suppress.

Ge Fu, the Consul General of the Old British Office in Hankou, was indeed not excited at all. He was full of worries, the situation in Hankou, and even the situation in China became more and more chaotic. Looking out of the window, the Chinese are scrambling to read the People's Daily. Students' speeches on the street **, China's national soul is awakening. This is a rather terrible start. In Europe, the national movement of a country can often give birth to a strong country, which is very aggressive and very powerful. For example, France in the Napoleonic era ruled almost the whole of Europe; and the Prussian national movement gave birth to the increasingly powerful German Empire, which is now a headache for the Queen of Great Britain.

Ge Fu is by no means a worried person. He has a strong intuition that Li Xiang is an extremely dangerous person, more dangerous than Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen. What is the purpose of this unreasonable Li Dashuai is always difficult to figure out. The Hankou Huajie is so fierce that he must have secretly planned it. The police of the revolutionary military government armed on the concession line are all arranged by Li.

Li Xiang showed his goodwill to him when he first entered Hankou. Why did he make such fierce remarks now? Aren't the 16 warships docked at the docks in Hankou enough to deter him? Why does he still make such a storm in Hankou? The Beiyang Army going south is not enough for him to have a headache? Does he know the situation in Europe so well that the Western powers are unable to fight in the Far East?

Ge Fu sent out a series of question marks in his mind, and he couldn't give an accurate answer himself. He stood in front of the window and stared at the window outside the concession line. The young student was giving a speech. The bright sunshine outside the window sprinkled on Ge Fu's body, but Ge Fu could not feel a trace of warmth. Maybe it was not far from the day the British Empire left China.

Ge Fu sighed and looked down at the thing in his hand. It was a People's Daily and an official letter from Sadao Matsumura, Consul General of Japan in Hankou. As the Consul General of the British Empire in Hankou, Ge Fu must do his best to protect the interests of the British Empire. This is the mission and right given to him by the Queen of Great Britain, so let's meet Sadao Matsumura for a while.
